Handmade Samurai Katana | T10 Clay Tempered Blade with Choji Hamon | Wave Theme Brass Fittings | Deep Blue Speckled Saya

HanBon Forge Handmade Samurai Katana – Wave Theme with T10 Clay Tempered Steel

Traditional Craftsmanship with Modern Precision

The HanBon Forge handmade samurai katana is forged using T10 high carbon steel, clay tempered to produce a striking choji hamon (clove-shaped temper line). This process ensures a perfect balance between hardness and flexibility, making the blade both durable and razor-sharp.

Finished with a hazuya polish, the hamon is vividly displayed along the blade, showcasing the true beauty of traditional Japanese swordsmithing. Each sword is hand sharpened for full functionality, making it battle-ready while retaining elegance for display.
